Отзывы врачей о препаратах от воспаления десен

We discussed how to treat inflammation of the gums with our experts: doctor of the highest category, candidate of medical sciences, head doctor of the dental clinic Albert Abdullaev and dental surgeon, periodontist Valeria Shoynzhurova.

When inflammation of the gums are often prescribed drugs with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action. However, the best remedies will be useless if the cause of the inflammatory process is not eliminated. Moreover, sometimes medications are harmful because they relieve symptoms and give a false sense of recovery. As a result, the disease takes a chronic form and often leads to complications. Therefore, we recommend that patients undergo a professional examination, rather than treating gum disease at home.

Эксперты ответили на популярные вопросы, которые интересуют пациентов с воспалением десен. Советы специалистов помогут вовремя обнаружить проблему, избежать осложнений и предупредить развитие воспалительного процесса в будущем

What causes gum disease?

Inflammation of the gums can be superficial and deep, local and generalized, acute and chronic. The inflammatory process is a constant companion of diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. With gingivitis, the marginal part of the mucous membrane becomes inflamed without violating the integrity of the periodontal attachment. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, in which bone tissue atrophies and teeth become mobile.

The most common cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene. Problems arise in people who brush their teeth incorrectly, do not use dental floss and an irrigator. As a result, food debris accumulates in the interdental spaces, which serve as a breeding ground for microorganisms. Over time, plaque turns into tartar and injures the soft tissues of the gums, causing inflammation.

The cause of the inflammatory process may be poor-quality filling or prosthetics, when the edges of the filling and crown damage the mucosa. Sometimes inflammation develops due to malocclusion. The soft tissues of the gums can become inflamed in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, autoimmune pathologies, diabetes mellitus and other endocrine disorders. In this case, along with the dentist, the treatment is prescribed by a narrow-profile specialist: a gastroenterologist, an allergist, an endocrinologist.

What are the complications of gum disease?

The most serious complications are periodontitis with the formation of local or generalized bone pockets, purulent-inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region and loss of teeth. Loss or extraction of teeth can cause deformation of the dentition and pathologies of the temporomandibular joint.

Как быстро снять воспаление десен?

This task should be solved by a specialist – a periodontist. After examination, he will establish the cause of the inflammation and prescribe treatment. Sometimes professional cleaning in the clinic and regular hygiene procedures at home are enough. In more complex cases, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents, antibiotics, immunomodulators are prescribed.

To stop the inflammatory process, physiotherapy is often used:

● electrophoresis;

● ozone therapy;

● darsonvalization;

● laser therapy.

With periodontitis, surgical intervention may be required: curettage of periodontal pockets. If necessary, therapeutic splinting of mobile teeth, gum augmentation, bone grafting are performed. Proper oral care and regular visits to the dentist will help to avoid such serious consequences.
